Pakistan [95/4] defeat Netherlands [91/9] by 6-wickets for their 1st victory of T20 World Cup 2022

[Kianig89]

Do they have an iota of brain. Shaan sent in to play out 20 overs

 

[castortroy]

Pak still yet to win a T20 game in Australia

 

[topspin]

I can’t believe after the recent revelation by Wasim that Babar is still bringing himself to open. He’s really shameless.

Also, our best batsman should not be batting outside the top 3.

We really don’t deserve to go through to the semis.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Feel so sorry for Rizwan haters. Becharay lol

 

[Kianig89]

If only Ind beats SA, our WC is kicking and alive

 

[boomboom6]

Get this dude Shan off this team

Not a serious team.

 

[rhony]

Brilliant fielding by the Dutch.

 

[msb314]

Shan should just go for it

 

[JibranAnsari]

These pitches have serious pace and bounce.

Absolute no chance for Pak on these wickets against the better teams.

Imagine what rabada and Nortje will do to this line up on these wickets

may be here at perth , but sydney is different .

 

[Shafi]

This team is just rubbish and deep inside they know that. Better prepare to go home

 

[SamNJ]

Bowling full length with no long on to Rizwan

 

[castortroy]

Still don't see how Shan Masood is in this T20 batting line up

 

[Hectic]

Brainless management. Why send an accumulator when you are trying to get your NRR high enough to push through the second round?

Because our competition for SF spot is SA and Zim. NRR is irrelevant against both those.

 

[Major]

Rizwan has batted well here, finish the game by 11 atleast now

 

[msb314]

Because our competition for SF spot is SA and Zim. NRR is irrelevant against both those.

Need to keep in mind rain however..

 

[Major]

This team is just rubbish and deep inside they know that. Better prepare to go home

Than why are you watching?

 

[castortroy]

You can't have Masood batting at number 4.

An accumulator coming in when you need to step up the rate

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Feel so sorry for Rizwan haters. Becharay lol

Haha he's cost us 3 trophies lad doesn't have any fans left

 

[crazyfaizee]

Rizwan injured in a match -. tick

 

[Kianig89]

Looks like Hayden is not taking us seriously

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Rizwan injured in a match -. tick

Such an attention seeker

 

[boomboom6]

Shan's truly garbage ... guy can't middle a single ball to save his life

 

[Rana]

Feel so sorry for Rizwan haters. Becharay lol

Are you celebrating his runs against Netherlands?

 

[rhony]

For a natural opener, Shan Masood edges a lot of balls. Seen that against Ind and Zim too

 

[Kianig89]

We have no 1 rank batsman yet we might not make into SF

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Haha he's cost us 3 trophies lad doesn't have any fans left

He has more fans on this site than haters. Make a poll if you want.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Batting is too lightweight need to squeeze Haider in he can win us a game

 

[castortroy]

Shan's truly garbage ... guy can't middle a single ball to save his life

Yeah ridiculous decision to have him at 4 if that is where he is going to play moving forward

 

[JibranAnsari]

from next year we should get our team voluntarily im the qualifying round , get some practice.

 

[Major]

Are you celebrating his runs against Netherlands?

Didn you when SKY scored?

 

[Hectic]

Need to keep in mind rain however..

Not really. If Pakistan have a match washed out they’re out. 5 points won’t be enough.

If Zim/SA have another match washed out and they end up level with Pakistan, the first tiebreaker will be most wins. Pak will have more wins and therefore be ahead.

 

[Kianig89]

For a natural opener, Shan Masood edges a lot of balls. Seen that against Ind and Zim too

Fishermen club don't you remember the legends :kami

 

[MHN1293]

Lol

 

[JibranAnsari]

lol , bowls a short one and rizwans out

what a surprise.

 

[Gullycricket]

Batting is too lightweight need to squeeze Haider in he can win us a game

Seems you haven't seen his rubbish batting right from the Eng series. He needs to go to domestic cricket

 

[emranabbas]

Ifti chacha please

 

[Kianig89]

Should have chased this in 7 overs to leapfrog the table

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

That bounced. **** off

 

[msb314]

Not out

 

[Forum363]

All the hate aside, why the heck would they send Shan vs someone like Nawaz or Shadab when it would be good to get quick runs.

It’s not like Shan needs time in the middle either.

 

[volcyz]

bounced
cheat

 

[mrtaim3]

Why is it Babar too keen to open the innings? I mean he has looked very poor lately with his timing. There has been so many changes in the middle order but why can't we change the opening position. What are they scared off?

 

[MHN1293]

Not out I think

 

[Kianig89]

And Ppers still expect us to make SF

Rabada n Co. Will bounce us

 

[Major]

Not really. If Pakistan have a match washed out they’re out. 5 points won’t be enough.

If Zim/SA have another match washed out and they end up level with Pakistan, the first tiebreaker will be most wins. Pak will have more wins and therefore be ahead.

No its nrr lol

 

[ex-q-zit]

Not out for me as benefit of doubt should go to batsman

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should have chased this in 7 overs to leapfrog the table

I dont know what the coaching team and the other analysts are doing.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Looks like Pak management doesn't know that wickets left don't really help your NRR.
What's the point of Masood here ?

 

[volcyz]

if it was Kohli it would be not out within 10sec

 

[rhony]

Ashwin type catch. Difficult for fielders a d umpires to judge

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

lol , bowls a short one and rizwans out

what a surprise.

Not out. Keep crying lol

 

[Major]

Why are dutch surprised? Lol probably saw a third umpire screen first time. That was never out

 

[Mean&Green]

How the hell can umpire even give that soft signal out ridiculous

 

[Kaptan]

Looked out from side angle. Not out from front.

 

[castortroy]

Really bizarre innings by Shan here

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Ashwin type catch. Difficult for fielders a d umpires to judge

Ohh please. That Ashwin incident was blatant. Guy is a cheat.

 

[Rana]

Don’t mind Rizwan out there

Love seeing him jump around

 

[crazyfaizee]

Are you with this performance? Team is struggling even against NL ... Especially rizwan doesnt have clue what to do on these Australian pitches .

 

[msb314]

What is the role of Shan Masood in the team ??

 

[boomboom6]

Yeah ridiculous decision to have him at 4 if that is where he is going to play moving forward

shouldn't even be in the squad

 

[Kianig89]

Saqlain and MoYo should be fined for sending Shan @4 today completely nuts

 

[Rana]

What is the role of Shan Masood in the team ??

Rilee Russouw

 

[rhony]

Ohh please. That Ashwin incident was blatant. Guy is a cheat.

Naa. It's difficult to judge those close ones.

 

[msb314]

No its nrr lol

Correct first tie breaker is NRR

 

[Kianig89]

For a natural opener, Shan Masood edges a lot of balls. Seen that against Ind and Zim too

What is the role of Shan Masood in the team ??

Steady the ship

 

[Rana]

The longer he bats

The more ridiculous he looks

 

[msb314]

Rilee Russouw

Not fit to tie his shoe laces

 

[Asif321]

Finally Rizwan back in form with match winning innings . What a player

 

[Dantheone]

People worried about NRR should be more worried about beating SA.. this team doesn't looks like can do that.

 

[daytrader]

Saqlain and MoYo should be fined for sending Shan @4 today completely nuts

What about Babar and Hayden? We have lots of brains in that dressing room

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Batting is too lightweight need to squeeze Haider in he can win us a game

Haider Ali? That's who you want to back?

 

[Kianig89]

Shan SR in 80s ) M.Wasim the selector should be fired immediately

 

[crazyfaizee]

People worried about NRR should be more worried about beating SA.. this team doesn't looks like can do that.

Rabada will eat babar n rizwan in first over on these pitches ..

 

[MHN1293]

What about Babar and Hayden? We have lots of brains in that dressing room

I doubt hayden would have much influence over these decisions

 

[msb314]

Finishing this over

 

[Major]

They should end it in this over. Chase it down

 

[Hectic]

No its nrr lol

Correct first tie breaker is NRR

Well it really isn’t.

“ N for net run rate: It's not uncommon in such tournaments for more than two teams to end up on the same number of points. Then it often comes down to net run rate, though only comes into the reckoning if the teams can't be separated by number of wins.”

First tiebreaker has always been number of wins.

[Kianig89]

What about Babar and Hayden? We have lots of brains in that dressing room

Hayden is a mentor not part of strategic plans from what his appointment is, Babar is the skipper had he been not out Shan would not be req but Saqlian and Moyo its their 110% responsibility I hope some fans egged them

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan quickly needs to get his 50 before shan takes over strike

 

[crazyfaizee]

Shan SR in 80s ) M.Wasim the selector should be fired immediately

Shan made 2 fifties in pervious games .so he has cemented his place in this team for next 2 years ...
